New Republican PAC seeks GOP majority in Legislature
Advertisements [?]
BATON ROUGE, La. -- With term-limits kicking in for many Louisiana lawmakers, some big-money Republicans see a chance to increase their party's presence in the Legislature.


They organized a new political action this year to raise money for the 2007 legislative elections.

The Louisiana Committee for a Republican Majority is headed by New Orleans developer Joseph Canizaro. It already has more than $600,000 in the bank, with a goal of raising $2.5 million by the time candidates qualify for the fall elections.

Term limits are fueling much of the activity to make GOP inroads aimed at political control, said the committee's executive director, John Diez Jr.

The committee will be active in 27 to 30 Louisiana House districts and five to seven Senate districts in the fall elections, Diez said.

I guess since they successfully kept the poor black people from returning to their homes, the Greedy Old Perverts have decided the time is right for a fascist takeover of Louisana. They've even put a "developer" in charge of the committee. Can you say CASINOS!
